Finally. A RCR for the Ford Ranger.

The intro pretty much loving nails it.

Literally the worst (and best) snow vehicle I have ever driven.

Oh my GOD!! The 6x8 speakers! The Miata transmission!
I'm really starting to miss my Ranger.
Pfft. 6x8? I remember when I replaced the door speakers in mine, they were something far narrower. The diaphragms felt like paper. I miss that truck. That 2WD, open-diff, standard cab, long bed, rusted, awful truck. 20Xk miles when I "traded" it in.

I didn't even see that or the front wheels coming off the ground, so I didn't appreciate the timing. :aaaaa:

Solution is to put the new Camry engine sideways in the 86 twins. Everyone is happy (?)
It might screw with their highly touted weight distribution, but I think that'd be awesome.

These are really neat. But wouldn't the back be arched more in the first case? Can you do one more for a real race bike?
Here's a 5'10" rider on a CBR1000RR. Very race bike.

Awesome build, till they went with that loving retarded wheel/tire/flare combination.
I agree that the wheels and total lack of sidewall in this case suck, but huge flares and meaty tires on old cars are great

I did this on a quarter panel dent once on my WRX. I used a Hello Kitty band-aid, though, which I feel is a superior choice. :colbert:

When it comes to flags, Americans get weird.
Just think of it like Last Night of the Proms, but it's at every opportunity and everyone's on the same page. :v:



Edit: After Bin Laden was killed, I was walking through State College (PSU) to get back to my apartment after my shift at the campus sandwich shop. My first clue that something had happened was the group of frat bros in a giant lifted dually with an enormous American flag tearing up and down the street. Shortly thereafter, a mass text went out informing us that police had authorized the "celebratory activities" but to please refrain from damaging property.



That night was a loving blast.
